Ive been doing much research with this GPS issue and im hearing great news about this fix. I have one question...... I'm from USA, have a Galaxy S (Vibrant - SGH-T959) Baseband: T959UVKB5 / Kernel: Immortality V2 (2.6.32.9) / ROM: Bionix V 1.3.1. I am currently visiting Ukraine (In Europe) and have changed my gps.conf file for europe. I get GPS Satellites "In View" but none "In Use" according to GPS STATUS. I have mobile service (EDGE) with ISP Kyivstar. Also my phone has been unlocked and installed this MOD. Any help would be great! Thanks :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
I think it should work just fine for you . maybe a bit slow to download map using EDGE .

Excuse my lack of knowledge...

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S2 and it's not rooted (yet). Does the phone has to be rooted to install Maps 5.7.0 Brut? Since Maps is a system program I can't uninstall it. I've cleared the cache, uninstalled the upgrades, but the apk won't install. I just keeps gettin' "Program is not installed" (directly translated from Swedish)...

Please help anyone with greater experience of Android phones than I OBVIOUSLY have...
[Android Apps and Games] adventuressmalik:
Its a great app. Its working in My Droid Icredible 2. In countries where the navigation is not officially allowe, this is a great help. Users must review the route before totally depending on it. Once upon a time, I got stuck in unfamilar territory in a river Bed because google navigation showed there was a bridge whereas there was none and one makeshift bridge which existed two years back was washed away by the floods. So be careful and use it with extar care. Wish you happy navigating...
[Android Apps and Games] adventuressmalik:
you need to do adb push- second method. It worked on my phone.

If you cant install in system/apps then you must root.;)
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:

Has anybody managed to solve the "Data Connection Lost" problem yet? I found lots of topics in several forums dealing with this issue, but without a decent answer anywhere. :(

The most annoying part, that it is not always wrong, maybe in half of the times when I'm trying to type a location, but I can't figure out what does it depend on whether works or not.

Btw my wifi or mobile data is just good, work with any other program without a mistake.
[Android Apps and Games] Ommadawn101:
What "data connection lost" problem?:confused:

If you define the problem, maybe someone can help.
[Android Apps and Games] atillaahun:
Sorry, I thought it's a more common issue. Sometimes during the route planning method, after I type the address, it says "data connection lost" and keeps planning forever. Even if Wifi or 3G is working well.

And I also noticed, that it happens when search suggestions don't show up - for some reason - during typing the address. Btw if the address exists it plans correct, if not I get the data connection error.

Recently I started using simply the Maps, to first search the address to pick up the route, and than switch to Navigation, but this way it needs some extra steps, which I'd rather avoid. But can't find out why the search suggestions don't always show up in Navigation.
[Android Apps and Games] Ommadawn101:
I have not encountered the types of problems you describe.

but, I always use maps first, I find it more friendly than navigator.

In the new version, when you select "directions" from the main menu, you immediately get the large blue arrow icon of navigate, and once you completed entering your destination, you can switch right up to navigation.
[Android Apps and Games] atillaahun:
Yeah, this is how I'm gonna probably use it from now on.

Some other thing; for some pronunciation reasons (street names) I'd like to use Navigation with a different language (Hungarian) than my phone language (English). Is there any way or settings to do that? I have TTS for both.

Oh and let me share one more issue I experienced. Maybe it isn't a bug, and only annoys me, but Navigation likes to repeat every direction and curve, and sometimes it get really late with them. For instance if I take a short route with a lot of turns/curves the speech navigation get behind 1 or 2 streets lots of times.

Can't I configure it somehow, not to say every direction twice, just once?

Who is releasing this patched Maps version? Are there md5 hashes for the releases? Is the source code available? I'm not asking for anyone's identity but I'd like some more details before installing an .apk just posted by some unknown person to a filehost. The app has wide ranging access on my rooted phone and could do serious damage if it contained malware.

Yes, it is made by chinese hackers. And no, you're not forced to use it. And no, there are no sources.

You can mark multiple "patches" of maps to download.
[Android Apps and Games] nadimsoze:
Note not more than ten. And also the map technology google uses, I think, is unique. So it would be difficult to download the cache using a map source tool.
[Android Apps and Games] Ommadawn101:
As for using another language, if you search this thread, I think you'll find some info that may help you.

As for the navi instructions, it is a known bug in the patched version.

Back in the time when brut.all was the mod, the bug was called "continue on turn left on".

If you don't have Maps or Streetview baked in, then try to install the resign version. Failing that, copy the version without resign into system/apps and set permissions to be same as the rest in that folder.

This question is answered about 30 times in this thread Use the search button or read. thank u.;)

Read the first post.

quote :

For those who get the "Login Failed" message, and don't get the three warning triangles .

1. Install original maps from market.

2. Sign in and join latititude

3. Back up maps in titanium, app and data.

4. Wipe date and uninstall maps

5. Install resign version. DO NOT RUN, reboot right after installing.

6. After reboot, go to titanium and restore DATA only.
[Android Apps and Games] feicipet:
Wasn't able to find a way to "Add Place" on 5.8.0 ownhere. The Places search results are in the form of a pop-up and there's no option to add a place there. When I tap on Back at the search results it just brings me back to the Latitude home page.

[EDIT] I tried checking in to a known location. No errors, but after going back to the map view, I saw that I was still in my previously checked-in location instead of the new one. Granted I haven't been using Latitude check-ins ever since I started using the Google+ client but anyone has the same experience?

Anybody had better luck?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] chewlee78:
You are not alone, I cant find the “add Place” option as well.

I believe the checkin “add place” option is only for certain countries, and we are not in the coverage area. Like Navigator, I think someone need to unlock it before everyone can utilise the “add place” option.
[Android Apps and Games] feicipet:
One clue I noticed is that the screenshot the Google Mobile blog showed for listing Places you can check-in to is very different to what I get when I try to check in.

Google Maps restarting

Hi all,

Has anyone figured out how to stop Google Maps from auto starting continuously? I know it's not really so much of a problem, but when I multitask I don't want Opera to reload / Worms to restart etc.

I've disabled all the event listeners using Autorun Manager (just to test) and it all just starts up every now and then.

Any ideals?

LV.

kenkiller: I'm glad to hear that I'm not forced to use it. I'd like to use it. But I wouldn't like to give wide open access to my rooted phone to unknown people posting code to megaupload, that's why I'm cautious. I use Cyanogenmod since they have some checks and balances and the source is available. Is there a reason those making this patched maps version can't provide the source for the patch like so many others posting things on XDA do? Where does the OP of this thread get the .apk files from in the first place? Email? Or some other forum?
[Android Apps and Games] Dexter_prog:
I was able to install it and run it and get directions, but when I go to "navigate" it keeps on "waiting for location" forever and it never starts (GPS and WIFI enabled)

nevermind: it's working now
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
From chinese forums that you have no idea to navigate. Nope, no sources from them.

And lastly, that won't change anytime soon, so you have to decide if you have the balls to use them. :D
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
I get it mostly from asian sites . (They are the fastest with porting, same day as the original maps)

And source

1) Download a working version of the hacked map, its corresponding original version and the latest map version.

2) Extract from all apks their classes.dex.

3) Disassemble the classes.dex (hack, original & new) using*baksmali . This will create a folder of disassembled files for each classes.dex, viz., hfolder, ofolder & nfolder respectively.

4) Use a diff tool such as meld (in ubuntu) to find the differences in hfolder & ofolder.

5) Port the diff (i.e., modified parts) in hfolder to nfolder. Please make sure that they are the same file when porting (i.e., most of the other codes should match).

6) If you realise that the hacked file does not corresponds to the new file (i.e., same file name or file does not exists in nfolder), look for some codes (in the hacked file) that can uniquely identify it and search in the folder, using tools such as grep or find.

7) Copy all files in brut folder to nfolder.

8) Edit the files in brut folder of nfolder such that the references (some function calls to the map classes) in them point to the correct classes/files in nfolder.

9) Once all modifications are ported, assemble it using*smali *which will create a dex file. Name it as classes.dex.

10) Replace the classes.dex of the new map apk with the newly assembled classes.dex.

11) Resign the apk.

[Android Apps and Games] sazrimz:

[Android Apps and Games] zepp3lin:
Ok for those who fail you can try another method that work for some.

1st your android must be rooted. Use root explorer like in ES File Explorer with the root option and mount it in settings of the root explorer

2. Go to manage application and uninstall maps update.

3. Go to root / and search for system/app folder.

4. Delete the Maps.apk inside system/app

5. Copy maps5.8.0-ownhere-testkeyresign.apk to root/ system/app

6. Rename maps5.8.0-ownhere-testkeyresign.apk to Maps.apk

7. Quit Root explorer and straight away reboot your Andriod

8. Open your google map and check if it's working.

9. If it does not work than good luck to you and try some other methods available in this forum.

I own a Desire HD with Custom Rom. Installing map is as easy as 123, I just downloaded the resign version and click the apk file and it install automatically. :)
[Android Apps and Games] garytanyh:
at 1st i having the same problem, "application not installed"

i root my phone (must) and install root explorer... below are the step i do on my i9100 sgs2 and success!!:D and thanks for the hack:)

1. In Titanium Backup, select Maps and make a backup.

2. Select Maps and wipe data, then uninstall.

3. Select Street View and wipe data, then uninstall

4. go root explorer go system/app... click top right "mount r/w"

5. copy maps5.8.0-ownhere.apk to system/app

5. Reboot

6. go to your application you will see maps icon there and check the version (original version is 5.2.1, now should be 5.8.0)

and enjoy...

It's there any way to get the full map of my city downloaded and not cache routes that I create?
[Android Apps and Games] garytanyh:
go to lab->select pre-cache map area

back to map select center of your city when location pop up click the small arrow then select pre-cache map area it will download 10mil data to ur phone and you can navigate offline...

more info see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO8YeTog5rE
[Android Apps and Games] poundesville:
I think you've your answer by now (answer given by : garytanyh). Although, without enabling it, Google maps does cache the area you're viewing. But using this lab feature is much easier, otherwise, you'll have to zoom to the level that you want and then scroll left & right to cover all the area that you need.

Nonetheles, you still can't use the "google navigation" - turn-by-turn voice - with this downloaded data if you do not have the data connection. The route suggestion as well as search of places are only done via google servers -without internet connection, this won't do.

The only advantage to this is to use the GPS in you phone and pin point your exact location and navigate the street using it. This is helpful, but if you think of replacing your GPS in your car - think again.
[Android Apps and Games] Tremium:
I'm experiencing one little problem with Google maps: I always connect my phone (samsung galaxy s2) to my car radio using the aux input so I can listen to music.

There problem is that the volume of Navigation is connected with the mediavolume while Google Navigation is way too quiet, which means if my music's at a decent volume, I can barely hear the TTS instructions.

Any solution to this?
[Android Apps and Games] EfoK:
Yes. I used the resign apk. I uninstalled using TB and installed using Astro. I can see the app in the /system/app folder. It does not install even on reboot.

One more thing when you inspect the apk in Super Manager there is a ''no install'' label. Is this the wrong app? BTW, this ''no install'' has just disappeared. The application runs ans says ''not installed''.
[Android Apps and Games] Ommadawn101:
This is strange

With my device (sgs),

navigate pauses the music,

announces whatever announcement (at exactly the same volume as the music was set to)

resumes the music
[Android Apps and Games] Ommadawn101:
This will not work unless you change permissions right after step 6
[Android Apps and Games] Ommadawn101:
Not entirely correct.

If you have your city cached, and you STARTED your navigation with data connection on, then, if you lose route, or make wrong turns, Navigator will be able to re-calculate your route, and re-direct you to your destination.

That's a BIG advantage
[Android Apps and Games] Tremium:
Yes with my device it pauses the music as well, but let's say my music's at volume 10 or something, the google navigation voice would be at volume 1.
[Android Apps and Games] ykphuah:
I need to set the media volume to 10 if I want to hear the TTS. Maybe your music is too loud?
[Android Apps and Games] Dexter_prog:
Thanks, that explains why it ain't able to calculate roads to navigate while offline. I hope they eventually move maps + navigation to an offline mode.
[Android Apps and Games] torkel_b:
Navdroyd is a cheap off-line navigator, recommended when abroad.
[Android Apps and Games] Dexter_prog:
I can confirm that this works, I've just tried it. I still don't understand why it needs internet to calculate the routes, though.

Gonna give it a go. Its maps look close to those of google's. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
This is just my guess, but given that Google's bread and butter is having this essential flow of information through their services/servers, it won't be anytime soon before they move the most important parts of Maps offline.

Also, map data takes up quite a bit lesser space compared to the data required for navigation calculation. You'll need to know which roads go in which direction, where turns are allowed etc etc....and looking at the small file sizes of the cached areas, most probably quite a bit is still in the cloud.
[Android Apps and Games] TEKHD:
Data connection lost

Really don't understand how it is possible that everyone is so happy when I have not seen it working even a single time... I have installed this mod on my HTC Sensation 4G (Rooted Stock ROM), HTC Inspire 4G (Rooted CM7 ROM) and Samsung Infuse 4G (Rooted Stock ROM) and I get Data Connection Lost every single time I try to search a destination on ALL devices... It opens perfectly... but I just can't search/set any destination... under wifi or 4G, no way this works...

Try starting with maps, select directions. And once you select source and destination select navigate (blue arrow).
